Chapter 659 Do you want the white swan?

“Mr. Qin, I just heard from grandpa that our two companies are likely to cooperate and open factories in the East?” Zamotayeva asked Qin Tao.

“Yes, this is our proposal. As long as Kyiv approves it, cooperation can begin quickly.”

"I hope the cooperation will go well. My grandfather and I have proposed it. When the time comes, I want to go to the East to work."

Qin Tao raised his wine glass and clinked it with the other party: "Okay, then I wish our cooperation well."

This is all a courtesy, and touching the cup does not mean that you will be stuffed. But unexpectedly, Zamotayeva drank it all directly, and showed the bottom of the cup to Qin Tao: "Use your Oriental one." According to the custom of the wine table, as long as you touch it, you need to drink it all, right?"

“Yes, I drank it too.” Qin Tao raised his neck and poured a glass of wine into his mouth. To him, this amount of wine was nothing at all.

“Mr. Qin, I am already looking forward to working in Dongfang.” Zamotayeva said with a smile, “I really hope that day will come as soon as possible.”

“Then it depends on your grandfather’s progress.” Qin Tao said with a smile.

 Zamotaeva left with a smile, elegant and noble.

After the banquet, Qin Tao checked directly into the most luxurious hotel next to the hotel. After Xu Zhengyang checked repeatedly, he said to Qin Tao: "Mr. Qin, this Zamotayeva seems to be interested in you today."

"You can see it? Zhengyang, aren't you usually not interested in men and women? You can even see this?" Qin Tao was curious.

"Mr. Qin, I am your bodyguard and secretary. Of course I have to pay attention to anyone around you." Xu Zhengyang said: "If she has ulterior motives, she might have various excuses to come over tonight."

"If she makes excuses to come, it means that this kind of woman doesn't have much scheming and is very easy to deal with. If she doesn't come, it will be a headache." Qin Tao said.

Xu Zhengyang nodded, and that night, he began to wait. Then, until the next morning, Zamotaeva did not show up. Yes, Mr. Qin's analysis was right. This will be a difficult opponent. .

　　咚咚!

 There was a knock on the door outside.

Xu Zhengyang opened the door and saw a familiar person: "Is it done so quickly?"

“Yes, it’s a simple little thing.” Zhao Ling said with a smile, “Is Mr. Qin in there?”

Qin Tao woke up from his sleep and rubbed his eyes: "Yes, I'm still sleeping. Do you want to come in and sleep together?"

“I heard that a big deal was negotiated yesterday. Our Mingzhou Group is going to build aero engines?”

“Well, this engine is not only related to training aircraft, but also related to the development of our future carrier-based drones.” Qin Tao said: “Now that we have this opportunity, we must get it.”

Of course what Qin Tao values ​​​​is ship-based drones, not only those like the Global Hawk, but also ship-based unmanned attack aircraft. This kind of engine is the most suitable power.

“Then when you came out this time, did you intentionally arrange flowers so that they don’t bloom, but unintentionally arranged willows to create shade?”

“Well, so to speak, are you really not coming up? It looks like you’ve been running around all night, right?”

“I’m not tired, Brother Tao, you didn’t pick wild flowers, did you?”

 “Of course not, how is it possible?”

At this moment, there was another knock on the door outside.

Xu Zhengyang opened the door again and saw Zamotaeva's figure: "Is Mr. Qin here? I'll invite him down for breakfast."

"Hey, who is this?" Zhao Ling heard the woman's voice and walked over quickly. When she saw the beautiful hairy girl at the door, she was more beautiful than Vitalia, and she immediately became vigilant.

Zamotaeva was also surprised. Why did a woman appear in Mr. Qin's room? She was a beautiful oriental woman.

"This is our partner, Zamotaeva, the granddaughter of Boguslaev, the president of Motor Sich Company. She will be mainly responsible for cooperating with us to build the factory." Xu Zhengyang could only introduce there: "Zamotayeva Ms. Motaeva, this is the wife of Mr. Qin of our group, and also his assistant, Ms. Zhao Ling."

 Madam, assistant? A trace of disappointment flashed in Zamotaeva's eyes, and then a smile appeared on her face, and she stretched out her right hand: "Zhao, you are so beautiful. Only a beautiful oriental woman like you is worthy of Mr. Qin. Since You’re here, let’s have breakfast together?”

"Okay." Zhao Ling nodded, then turned to look at Qin Tao, who was still on the bed: "Mr. Qin is still resting, so we don't need to worry about him. Let's go have breakfast together."

"good."

Zamotaeva and Zhao Ling went out. Xu Zhengyang looked at Qin Tao on the bed and continued to sleep soundly. He couldn't help but sigh, Mr. Qin is indeed powerful enough to be able to sleep at this time!

Of course Qin Tao had to go to bed. When these two women were together, all kinds of things would definitely happen. They were smiling on the surface, but tit-for-tat behind the scenes. The world of women was very mysterious, so he had better go to bed again. It's better to go back to sleep.

 Two women walked towards the restaurant, chatting as they walked.

"Graduated from Kiev University? Zamotaeva, you are so amazing. That is one of the top ten prestigious universities in Europe!" Zhao Ling said.

“It doesn’t matter if you get the glory of the family. Zhao, it’s the most enviable thing for you to marry Mr. Qin. Can you tell me about your experience of falling in love?”

"That was all ten years ago. There is nothing to say. However, over the years, although our husband and wife have been together less and apart more often, we can truly love each other. Apart from each other, there is no one else in our hearts, especially my husband. There are many temptations, but it is really rare to be able to control yourself.”

Zamotaeva looked a little embarrassed. At this moment, a girl in plain clothes stopped them with a flower basket on her arm: "Do you want to buy flowers?"

“No, who did we buy flowers for?” Zamotaeva shook her head.

"Please buy a few flowers. My grandfather is seriously ill and needs some money..." The girl looked at the two people in front of her. They were noble and elegant, knowing that they must have money.

Zhao Ling also sighed. It is common in every country for Zhumen to have wine and meat that smells bad, and people to freeze to death on the road. Even though she has a good heart, she cannot be kind everywhere!

“My grandfather is also a person who has made contributions to the country. The largest die forging press in the world was designed by my grandfather. Unfortunately, when he was old, he actually..." The girl felt very aggrieved.

 Same girl, different fate.

Zamotayeva was able to stand high and had a good environment since she was a child. She went to a famous university and got a good job after graduation. This was because her grandfather Boguslaev contracted the Motor Sich Company when the Red Empire collapsed. He is now the president of Motor Sich Company and has unlimited wealth.

This flower seller’s grandfather was once an important engineer at the Novokramatosk Machinery Manufacturing Plant, but he did not have this opportunity, so that now he is old and sick and has no money for medical treatment!

If it were someone else, Zhao Ling wouldn't care. She was overflowing with sympathy, which is what an innocent little girl who is inexperienced in human affairs would do. Zhao Ling had already passed that age, but now, she was immediately moved.

 What is the purpose of Brother Tao coming here? The design of the die forging press! This girl’s grandfather is actually a designer in this field, so that’s a blessing!

"We won't buy any flowers, but your grandfather's illness must be cured. Come, I have fifty thousand hryvnia here." Zhao Ling said, taking out a wad of banknotes from her exquisite handbag: " Use this money to treat your grandfather first."

 After the collapse of the Red Empire, every country has experienced labor pains, and Ermao is no exception.

 After Ermao became independent, it began to print its own currency, which was called Kubon currency. The printing of Kuban coins is very simple, and the paper is very rough, so it is called "sugar paper." In fact, the paper does not matter, the key is its purchasing power.

 When it was first issued, the Kuban currency was equivalent to the original ruble. One Kubang dollar exchanged for 0.9 U.S. dollars. The maximum face value of this currency was only 100 yuan. However, this situation was quickly broken.

  The workers’ wages of 20 cents have begun to rise! In December 1991, the average monthly salary of ordinary people was 480 Kuban dollars. January 1992, 1523 Kubon coins. At the end of 1992, 16,897 Kubon coins. At the end of 1993, there were 836,534 Kubon coins. In 1994, there were 3,490,047 Kubon coins, an increase of 7,270 times compared with the end of 1991.

 This is simply paradise! Workers' wages have been rising year after year, and people's lives should be very happy.

This is of course impossible. This is caused by inflation. After the currency was issued, this thing began to depreciate rapidly. By the spring of 1992, 1 U.S. dollar was exchanged for 270 Ukrainian Kubang coins. By 1994, 1 U.S. dollar could be exchanged for 250,000 Ukrainian Kubang coins. The rate of wage increase cannot match the rate of inflation. At this time, any money saved in the bank will be wasted.

 The girl’s grandfather was originally rich, but that wealth has also become a bubble in this inflation.

 In 1996, Ermao issued a new currency, the hryvnia, which was exchanged for Kubon coins at 1:100,000, with a maximum face value of 500. This currency is relatively strong and does not depreciate quickly.

 Now, what Zhao Ling took out was the largest hryvnia of 500 denominations. One hundred pieces, in this era, was considered a huge sum of money.

　　The flower girl was stunned when she saw so much money: "How, how can this be done? You are so generous, I..."

"Take the money and go back immediately to treat your grandfather. Don't let others see it." Zhao Ling said.

“You are the benefactor of my family, how should I thank you?” the flower girl choked.

"No need to thank you. Your grandfather is a great hero of the country and should enjoy his old age in peace. Go ahead."

 Zamotaeva watched the whole process, feeling a little curious, but still said nothing.

The meal was uneventful, with no accidents. After breakfast, Zhao Ling returned to the room. Qin Tao had already gotten up, and Saburov was also here.

"Mr. Qin, welcome to visit our factory. Your schedule was too tight yesterday, so we didn't arrange for you to go to the workshop. Today, you can see whatever you want," Saburov said.

 There were no workers working yesterday. They must have made arrangements overnight last night! Qin Tao also felt funny in his heart and said: "Let's go, let's go together."

Saburov then noticed Zhao Ling's existence.

"This is my wife and my assistant. If we have any business dealings in the future, if I don't have time, my wife will come here on my behalf." Qin Tao introduced.

 “Yes, Madam is so beautiful,” said Sabrov.

 Westerners like to praise people for their beauty, and Zhao Ling has long been indifferent to it.

 A group of people came to the factory, where there was a lively production scene.

"Mr. Qin, this is our icebreaker propeller shaft production workshop." Saburov introduced: "Currently, the icebreakers produced by Damao also use our propeller shafts. Our factory is engaged in export business. of."

Qin Tao nodded: "Well, that's right. The drive shaft technology required by icebreakers is more difficult. Your factory is still very strong. It's just a pity!"

 “What’s a pity?”

"The number of icebreakers needed in the world is very small, especially for East-West trade, which mainly takes the Suez Canal route." Qin Tao said: "Our Mingzhou Group has always recommended the Arctic route. Save more fuel, but not as many people respond."

"Yes, the Suez Canal has been very busy since it was opened." Saburov said: "There is no way around it. The opening of a new shipping route always requires many difficulties and obstacles."

“Yes, the Suez Canal is still the first choice for many cargo ships. It is too narrow there. If an operation error occurs and a cargo ship gets stuck there, I don’t know how long it will be blocked. By then, shipping around the world will be affected.”

Xu Zhengyang followed Qin Tao, silently, but he understood in his heart.

Qin always pushed for the Arctic route, which could avoid the dangerous Malacca. However, the Arctic route cannot be promoted by himself. A large number of merchant ships must go together, so that it is lively enough.

 So, how can we achieve this goal?

Of course it blocked the Suez Canal.

The Mingzhou Group must not do this, otherwise, if word spreads, its reputation will be ruined. The canal is blocked, and I don’t know how many ship owners are anxious. If these ship owners know that it is the Mingzhou Group, they can continue to take advantage of the Mingzhou Group. Does State Group place an order?

You can't do it yourself, but you can encourage others to do it. There will always be people who are interested, especially those who have interests in the icebreaker.

Even if this conversation spreads, no one will doubt the Mingzhou Group. We are preparing for a rainy day and making predictions. What's wrong with this? If the cargo ship is stuck, what does it have to do with us?

A girl was hiding behind the machine, showing a pair of bright eyes, looking at the guests who came to visit. When she saw the female companion next to Qin Tao, her eyes suddenly lit up, she found it, and sure enough she found it!

However, there are so many people now, and she can't go out. She can only wait for time.

The day's restaurant inspection is over. Saburov is a little regretful. Mr. Qin doesn't seem to be interested in anything! What on earth is he here for? Is it to instruct our own side to block the Suez Canal?

Qin Tao and Zhao Ling returned to the hotel. Just at the door of the hotel, the flower girl flashed out from behind the pillar: "Benefactor, my grandfather is very grateful to you. He has been admitted to the hospital. He told me that I must find my benefactor. Thank you in person. If the benefactor needs it, I am willing to work for the benefactor for the rest of my life..."

"No need, as long as your grandfather can enjoy his old age," Zhao Ling said.

 Er-haired women are not just for cover. All of them are fair-skinned, beautiful and have long legs. Zhao Ling doesn’t want to bring more Er-haired women back.

“Also, my grandpa knows that you are guests of Mingzhou Group and said that I have some things at home that may be useful to you. Those things are too heavy and I can’t move them. Please..."

Qin Tao nodded and winked at Xu Zhengyang, so Xu Zhengyang sent two people to follow the flower girl.

 Back at the hotel, Qin Tao was very emotional.

"Xiao Ling, I didn't expect you to be a lucky general." Qin Tao said: "I was worried about how to find someone, but I didn't expect you to find him first."

"Why, you are a little unwilling to be met by me? If you meet that girl and help her, the girl will definitely give her life to you."

"Xiao Ling, what you said is wrong." Qin Tao said: "You have allowed me to be a monk for so long, and you still come to tease me. In this case, I won't be polite."

 “Hey, I haven’t taken a shower yet!”

 “We’ll wash it together later.”

 After taking a shower, Xu Zhengyang came in.

“Mr. Qin, we got the thing, it’s what we want.”

“Well, it took no effort to find it even after wearing iron shoes. This time, it’s all thanks to Assistant Zhao.” Qin Tao said, “When I go back, I will receive a bonus of one hundred thousand.”

“One hundred thousand is not much money. You are too stingy.”

“Okay, what do you want? I’ll give you whatever you want.”

“Next, aren’t we going to jointly build an engine factory?” Zhao Ling glanced at Qin Tao: “I want to be the person in charge of that engine factory.”

Xu Zhengyang didn't say anything. It was no longer his turn to interrupt in this kind of matter. Mr. Qin had his wife by his side, so he had a lot of fun, but also lost a lot of fun.

Qin Tao smiled and looked at his wife: "Of course it's no problem. You become a legal person and register a company. I won't ask about anything that happens there in the future. That Zamotayeva, I won't even take a look at it, okay? ?”

"That's about right." Zhao Ling nodded with satisfaction. Both of them were smart people and they were husband and wife. There would be no embarrassment even if their secrets were exposed.

 Qin Tao is also very satisfied with his smart wife.

 This matter today was caused by Zhao Ling. She gave money to the flower girl without leaving her name. However, Novkramadosk was a small place with few oriental faces. They were the only ones who could easily give such a large sum of money, so , if the other party has a conscience, he will definitely come and continue searching.

I was inspecting the machinery manufacturing factory. The girl’s grandfather was an old employee of the machinery manufacturing factory, so he would definitely be able to come in and see my side. In this way, I would do good deeds without leaving my name, but I would still be thanked by others in the end.

Now, I finally got the thing!

Qin Tao looked at Xu Zhengyang: "Why are those things in that old designer's house?"

"It's not because of poverty." Xu Zhengyang said: "A few years ago, their factory couldn't pay wages. The factory wanted to sell all the drawings in the warehouse as waste paper. The old designer firmly opposed it. In the end, These design drawings arrived at the old designer’s home and were worth his year’s salary.”

Qin Tao also sighed after hearing this. We didn’t know it at the beginning. If we knew, we could just come and buy waste paper.

This old designer is really determined. He would rather take these drawings home and be gnawed by mice than sell them. After all, these drawings contain their many years of hard work! Qin Tao believes that domestic designers will do the same thing, but this kind of thing will not happen in China, because his motherland is gradually becoming stronger!

“Mr. Qin, according to the schedule, we will go to Motorsic Company for inspection tomorrow.” Xu Zhengyang said.

Qin Tao nodded: "Okay, just go."

Xu Zhengyang glanced at Zhao Ling.

"Zamotaeva will definitely receive her after she goes there." Zhao Ling said: "Since I have to be responsible, I will be in charge of her regarding the engine factory."

“Of course.” Qin Tao nodded.

He knows that his wife is not jealous, because she knows that he is single-minded. She just does this to show that she values ​​her relationship with him. Alas, smart women will always be misled by their cleverness. .

Although they are both located on the banks of the Dnieper River, because Zaporizhia is further south, the climate is more pleasant, and the trees in the city have long become lush and full of vitality and vitality.

"Mr. Qin, your Mingzhou Group is a major customer of our Motor Sich Company. In the future, we will cooperate in building factories, and our relationship will be closer. You are welcome to come here often in the future," Boguslaev said. .

 “Okay, of course.”

“Mr. Qin, let me introduce to you. This is Mr. Chumakov, who came here specially from Kiev.” Boguslayev introduced the people around him.

"Nice to meet you." Qin Tao didn't pay too much attention. Going to build a factory in China must require the approval of Kiev's top management. This Chumakov should have come specifically for this matter. Anyway, we don't Even if you suffer a loss, don’t worry too much.

“Mr. Qin, Mingzhou Group is a famous shipbuilding group in the world. We welcome your arrival. At the same time, we also hope to deepen further cooperation with you.” Chumakov said.

"Yes, of course we need to further deepen our cooperation." Qin Tao said, "I wonder how you plan to further cooperate?"

“I wonder if you are interested in our white swan?”

 Qin Tao was stunned for a moment.

White Swan is the code name for Tu-160. This strategic bomber, similar to the B-1B, was the last swan song before the collapse of the Red Empire. It was the most advanced aerial weapon. A total of 25 were built. At that time, there were strategic bombers in Ermao's territory. The 184th Regiment of the Army. Therefore, they were allocated 19 of them, all of which were stationed in Priluki.

Although Ermao also knows that these are good things, they have no money to maintain or operate them. Therefore, these aircraft have become useless. Are they planning to sell them now?
